Tye here with a new episode of the TyePod! Kae (@LetterEleven) joins me to talk about her journey living with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD) and her experiences as a digital creator and advocate.
The discussion explores the complexities of navigating life with a disability, the importance of representation, and the intersectionality of being a woman of color with a disability. Kae emphasizes the need for better accessibility and the challenges faced in the fashion industry, while also highlighting the progress being made in disability advocacy and awareness. In this conversation, the speakers explore the complexities of living with disabilities, the importance of social media in fostering connections, and the impact of COVID-19 on their lives. We discuss the necessity of advocacy, the challenges of grief and adaptation, and the significance of building supportive relationships.
